Faye's brother, Craig Johnston

Whilst still at the top of his game playing for Liverpool, Craig Johnston received news from his parents that his sister Faye had been seriously injured with a brain injury. "We all thought Faye would get better but she didn’t... nobody could help. So I retired from football, it was a big decision." - Craig Johnston, Soccer Legend & Headstart ABI Services Ambassador. Headstart ABI Services provide support for Faye as she deals with the challenges of living with an acquired brain injury. Headstart have been supporting people in the Hunter and Central Coast region of NSW since 1987. Life after brain injury... make it happen!

Tears in my eyes watching this . Craig Johnston was my favourite Liverpool of all time up to this ( he was by no means their worst player ) but what he need for his siater and family stands above everything. A true legend ❤❤❤❤❤❤

The worst player on the best team? No sir... I remember your games and goals. Far from it. Complete admiriation for you as a player and more importantly as a brother and a son. Theres a special place in heaven for you and your mom.

This guy has had some life. I never even heard about his sister before such a shame. This guy changed football forever with his boot design predator. Simply the greatest football boot ever created. All this time living such pain just wishing his sister would come round heart wrenching 😢

Speedy player he was!!

No one understands Mr Johnston. My 7 year old has an ABI and we are just another statistic. I feel so ashamed and alone.

[@headstartabiservices4531]

Hi Michael, so sorry to hear that. Yes ABI isn't always understood by the community and is often an invisible disability. Where are you located and what sort of support are you getting?

[@michaelfeast9869]

@@headstartabiservices4531 I'm not in NSW. The police didn't charge or arrest the woman driver that hit my son. I'm really upset and traumatised. No NDIS because my son is not classed as disabled. It's all bs

In no way was Craig johnstone the worst player, far far from it.

[@MrRobertcoates1]

I thought he was a bloody good player being a rival fan and after watching this seems like a bloody good human being too.

[@shaneshankly4518]

An brilliant player and noone gave more ❤

[@paulbradshaw3342]
